I'd go, but I already drove up there and back three times since Wednesday.

I was really tempted to hit 65 south vs 70 East... but I do need a day to recover before getting back to reality..

Indy was awwwwwwesome! We were lucky and was able to get up close and personal with the new C7s they had there. Really growing on me! The pace car looked badass coming around turn 4 at high speed!

Indiana has the most moronic time zone map in the US.



And that red dot is Vincennes, which has no DST, so half of the year they are Eastern, and half Central.

Going to Purdue in West Lafayette with the same daylight savings nonsense, half of the year I was on the same time as home (Cincy) and half I was an hour early. More annoying, half of the year the tv schedule was right, half of the time it was an hour off...

The best is the city of Harrison which was split right down the middle. Half of the year, half of the city was on a different time than the other half.

That map is a bit out of date. They FINALLY observe daylight savings time at least. I do remember living in Cincy in the very late 90's working as a District Manager for Namco being able to wake up and leave Cincy at 9am EDT and making it to Richmond by 9am EST. Strange feeling

Boy do they have a screwed up timezone history though!!

As Kym, we were in Haiti!

Regardless of Chris' amazing tour of areas of Indianapolis we would have never seen, the race and overall environment was awesome!

If you failed to go to the race; slap yourself in the face now.














Okay, that was harsh. We had a great time and wish everyone could have had the opportunity to have been there with us.

Big concrete fountain...emptied and moss grown...the home from Jumanji...more homes with randomly placed holes...all haunted...creepy old guy with white cataracts that was streetside stoic...naked kids...busted crap in the front yard....

THIS is what Chris's GPS said was "Indianapolis Motor Speedway"

And here we "rich white folk" are cruising the streets in Sequoia/Vette style.

1...2...3...doors locked

Move along now...no lets get stuck by the train!
